The Dongjingyu Village is at the Ji County, the only mountainous area in the Tianjin municipality. It is home to a cluster of vernacular stone dwellings of extraordinary design and layout, interspersed among grotesque rocks, primeval trees and rare plants. As a point of departure for Dongjingyu Village’s regeneration masterplan, this competition seeks to respond to the rural revival movement across China and explore the local culture and charm of the Village.

The Future Dongjingyu Village:

The abandoned situation of the village itself is considered worthy of preservation. It is expected that gradually Nature will take over the place again.

There is going to be annual art activities that turn the cherished ruins into a site of open exhibition, to celebrate the intervention through art and design.

Those winning entries that are actually built will be cautiously introduced to the site until the arrival of new built proposals in the next year.

Award-winning works have the opportunity to be built in Dongjingyu Village
